Postdoc in Plant Physiology, Electronic Engineering, and Mathematics Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand

The University of Basel (Department of Environmental Sciences, research group Ecology) is recruiting a fully funded postdoc in ecological modelling focused on global change , mountain plant ecology , and species range shifts . The project will model the relaxation times of accrued lags of plant species across Europe’s mountain ranges using a spatially explicit dataset on species-specific shifts and lags over recent decades. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with team members and ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand in geothermal microbiology, hydrogenotrophs, renewable hydrogen biomanufacturing, bioprocess engineering, microbiology, biotechnology, and gas fermentation . This funded PhD project asks whether Aotearoa New Zealand’s indigenous geothermal microorganisms can be developed into next-generation platforms for converting renewable hydrogen and carbon dioxide into valuable products. The project focuses on hydrogen-oxidising bacteria (hydroge...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in marine ecology and stable isotope science in New Zealand . The project investigates the nutritional ecology of Greenshell™ mussel spat , asking what mussel spat are feeding on and which food sources best support their growth across different nursery environments and environmental conditions. The successful candidate will use stable isotope approaches , together with controlled experiments and field sampling , to study how naturally occurring food sources contribut...

PhD opportunity at the University of Waikato, New Zealand in Building Resilient Coasts: Long-Term Dynamics of Nature-Based Solutions . This project focuses on the long-term evolution of coastal nature-based solutions (NbS) for reducing hazards such as storm surge, flooding, and erosion, while also considering ecological co-benefits. The research sits at the intersection of Earth Science , Environmental Science , Civil Engineering , and modelling-based coastal research, with possible emphasis on ...

🚀 PhD opportunities are available in control, robotics, and learning-based optimisation at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington , New Zealand. The project sits at the intersection of model predictive control (MPC) and reinforcement learning (RL) , with applications to safe, efficient, and adaptive controllers for real engineering systems. Research directions include robotic manipulators and high-precision motion control, quadruped robots and loco-manipulation, and energy systems suc...
